the u.s. president that rendered this sacred u.n. arena tainted. since trump uttered such reckless and violent words provoking the supreme dignity of the democratic peoples republic of korea at this very platform, i think it is very enough for me to make a response in the corresponding tone. during his eight months in power, he has turned the white house into a noisy marketing place full of crackling sounds of -- and now he has tried to turn the u.n. arena into a gangster's nest where money is respected and blood shed is the order of the day. the observed realty that the person like trump, a mane tally deranged person full of contemplate sense, the person who is chastised even as american people as commander in brief, is holding the seat of the u.s. president and the dangerous reality that the gambler who grew old using threats, of land holds the nuclear button. these are what constitute the gravest threat to the international peace and security today. due to his lacking of basic common knowle

sanctions and u.s. law. the u.s. should penalize all penalties including chinese financial institutions and businesses that trade with those on the sanctions list, export prohibited items or maintain correspondent accounts for north korean entities. washington should impose significant fines on china's four largest banks at a commiserate level to the $12 billion dollars in fine the u.s. leveed on european banks for money laundering for iran. and should designate medium or small chinese banks. in conclusion, the most progress mattic u.s. policy a comprehensive integrated strategy using all of the instruments of power to increase pressure of pyongyang's repeated defines, to expant panned operations against the regime, to highlight and condemn pyongyang's crimes against humanity, and to ensure that u.s. has defenses against himself and its allies. sanctions require time and the political will to maintain them in order to work. sit a policy of a slow python constriction rather than a rapid cobra strike. thank you again f

>> well, it's a question of how the u.s. acts. does the u.s. show restraint? or does the u.s. try to show force? or does the u.s. try to take some sort of action? or does the u.s. try to -- some of those actions could be potentially diplomatic action. so if the u.s. showed restraint and again, this is according to briefings i've had. i was just in south korea a few days ago. with officials there. and they say the u.s. has tried to sew restraint in the past. and that restraint has been met with nuclear tests, has been met with ballistic missile tests, and the result has been escalation. when the u.s. has tried to show force, like when it did the fly-over a few days ago, we are seeing now the response which is yet another nuclear test. so showing restraint doesn't seem to be having an impact. curbing north korea's aggressive behavior and its missile front and its nuclear front. and showing force doesn't seem to be having much of a deterrent impact as well. so that leaves the other options, which is to actually do something. and the doing something could either be diplomatic or m

u.s. virgin islands. you're right, awkward might be a good word to describe the reception he may encounter there. i was in texas and in louisiana shortly after hurricane harvey. and the president was well received in both places. i was in louisiana when he visited with national guard troops there. and there was a large contingent of people, more than 1,000 that came out to catch a glimpse of the president and welcomed him and his presence there. the situation in puerto rico could be much different. and it could be in part because of the response that the president has to not only the leaders of puerto rico but to the individual people who are dealing with this tragedy. let's just go back over these tweets this morning and exactly what the president said not just about the mayor of san juan but about her people, as well. he said, "such poor leadership by the mayor of san juan and others in puerto rico who are not able to get their workers to help." he goes on to say "they," american citizen

military force belongs to the u.s. military and the u.s. government and no one else it's not the responsibility of the taliban to protect civilians from us use of military force it's the responsibility united states so i think it's shameful that the u.s. military is trying to deflect responsibility to some other party for the u.s. military action and sadly this is a pattern for the u.s. and its allies the same thing we're seeing with saudi arabia and yemen and saudi arabia blames everybody else for civilian casualties caused by saudi arabia. in a surprise move the japanese prime minister's dissolve parliament paving the way for a snap election next month they want to capitalize on his high approval ratings to get a mandate for tougher defense policies towards north korea than holkins next looks at the power play and whether it will pay off. a rise in popularity and opposition in disarray and a sinister forward threat looming on the horizon a perfect recipe for calling an early election which is exactly what prime minister shinzo has announc

security council u.s. ambassador nikki haley said kim jong-un is begging for war saying enough is enough. she called for the strongest sanctions possible against pyongyang. that follows blunt talk from the white house where president trump said, we'll see, when asked if he's planning to strike at north korea. defense secretary james mattis warned of a massive military response to any threat against the u.s. and its territories, including guam. but north korea issued new threats today saying if provoked, it would eradicate the u.s. with no trace left on earth. we are covering all of that and more with guests including senator ben cardin, ranking member of the foreign relations committee, correspondents and specialists are also standing by. let's go straight to our breaking news with residents of southeast texas still reeling from harvey, another powerful storm may pose a serious threat to the united states. you may not have heard about it yet. it is hurricane irma. and it is now a dangerous category 4. flor

u.s. president donald trump sent another message and it's not likely to be viewed here in seoul. it says south korea is finding that their talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. they only understand one thing. we have the latest to the reaction to the missile test and the reaction to the tweet by president trump, criticizing t an ally. >> you want to rally around the flag. get all your allies together show a united front and this tweet has a crack of daylight in it where it shows there isn't this united front or at least president trump is tweeting out what is going to anger both koreans toward north career. yes, it's true president moon talked about a dialogue and getting to the table with the north koreans to resolve their conflict. he's inherited a completely different situation where you have north korea defiant about their nuclear program and you have president trump who's talking tough as well and president moon has shown a strong hand in this crisis, but this isn't the

security council a result of the heinous u.s. attempts to isolate and suffocate her own country they are a blatant violation of us over and that's why we totally reject and condemn these sanctions many people whose hopes had really been raised for peace and diplomacy being victorious while those hopes are starting to dampen the are starting to be some some fear that perhaps once again we are in the danger of a global conflict or some kind of war breaking out in the crisis in the korean peninsula could be once again intensifying this is just another dip on the roller coaster and saying that every week it with the war record goes up very high than that maybe this conciliatory talk some cooperation some diplomacy and then more threats of military force we don't know what the next step is going to be could be that the real question is going to be when do we actually get to a diplomatic track that allows both sides to step down. after washington called for new sanctions north korea carried out a missile test on friday morning to the s

in the u.s. the environmental protection agency says an unknown amount of the dangerous chemical dioxin may have washed down a river near houston doing the flooding from hurricane harvey they are saying is linked to birth defects and cancer now the spillage originated from a site where a government agency stores hazardous waste. the united states has ordered more than half of its cuban embassy staff to leave the country and made a series of mysterious sonic attacks on its diplomats it has also issued a travel warning saying u.s. citizens may be at risk of attack in the worst cases the victim suffered mild traumatic brain injury cuba's government denies responsibility and says it does not know what is causing the incidents. this began when diplomats stationed at the newly reopened u.s. embassy in heaven are started reporting noise attacks causing headaches hearing loss concussion and dizziness the acoustic assaults affected more than twenty people f.b.i. investigators went searching for clues but

from the u.s. perspective, any deal they can get to tighten the noose a little more on north korea would be seen as a big step. vonnie: is there a point at which sanctions work? hope inat is the washington and other european capitals. north korea has been put under a pretty tight leash. if you look at history, other countries, it does take a long time for this to work. we heard vladimir putin earlier this week saying the north koreans would rather eat grass than give up their nuclear weapons. sections can work up to a certain extent but if you have a regime that come hell or high water they're going to develop a nuclear missile and don't really care what happens to many of their citizens, it is difficult to get sanctions to be truly effective. we have seen this over the last few years. they keep making progress in their nuclear program. the real question to look at now is what sort of negotiations might be see going on behind the scenes between north korea and representatives. mark: is there a sign

in the likelihood more than eighty four people civilians were killed in two u.s.'s strikes in and near the syrian city of braca and those eighty four people well that's just the bodies cool enough to my identify. strikes allegedly targeted a school markets and the bakery putting to human rights watch which carried out an investigation and published a forty two page trip or previously the u.s. led coalition had said that following an internal review they found the claims of alleged civilian casualties back to praed ability well human rights watch visited these locations state spoke to the people and they looked at the evidence and they found that the u.s. led coalition given visited these locations they never spoke to the people they never looked at the evidence coalition forces have said that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that civilians were killed in the attack on the school but as far as we know they did not visit the school they did not talk to any witnesses if they had they were found plenty of evidence that civilians were killed in this case the q

the u.s. has flown bombers close to north korea's east coast and what the pentagon called a demonstration of its military options in the face of threats the u.s. said the flight went to the furthest north of the border between the two koreas that any u.s. fighter jet has flown this century the warning comes amid heightened tensions between the two countries over pyongyang's nuclear program and in an address to the united nations north korea's foreign minister launched a tirade against the u.s. president saying trump is the greatest threat to international peace and security. has committed the irreversible mistake of making a visit by all rockets to the u.s. mainland inevitable. trump himself is on a suicide mission. in the case that innocent u.s. lives are lost because of this suicide attack trump will be held totally responsible. we're certainly keeping an eye on that story and we'll bring you the developments as we get them well another earthquake has struck mexico the tremors were centered

the u.s. walking out of the jcpoa, that's not something they would welcome? they're content with the poor state of relations as they exist now? >> well, i don't -- that's not the right way to put it. but i think their concerns would not be primarily addressed in any constructive way from their point of view, as i understand it, by a walking away from a jcpoa which is being properly implemented. from their point of view, that would be a net negative because what it would mean is that a restriction on iran would be lost. leverage on iran would be surrendered, and iranian hardliners will have pocketed this reality. they will have done away with the international sanctions regime under obama and had their, you know, had their obligations under the jcpoa removed under trump, all for nothing. all gaining the arab states nothing at all. and in fact, removing their leverage. this, to them, i think, does not seem like in the negative. now, just a little caveat. if you were to broaden the aperture and s
